The Canberra Raiders players have jumped into the defense of passionate striker Corey Horsburgh, whose fiery departure during their loss to Parramatta could be his last NRL act in months.
A whiny Horsburgh twisted both middle fingers to the crowd at Bankwest Stadium when he limped away late in the first half of his 25:24 loss after suffering a foot injury in a lawsuit instigated by Ryan Matterson.

The 22-year-old immediately confronted Matterson and caused a standoff before the emotions overcame when he let the small numbers in the stands know what he was thinking.
Raiders halfback George Williams believed that Horsburgh’s emotional response was due to the injury, which could prove to be serious.
“I thought he was playing really well, I know he loves to play hard in the middle there. He got a little emotional, but I think it was the injury more than anything and I hope he’s fine, ”said Williams. “He is a small child and a good prospect.”
Steve Roach, Fox League side commentator, said Horsburgh “was in tears when he came over here with the coach”.
The second season lock can be operated on if a Lisfranc fracture (midfoot) is suspected. The rehabilitation period could be more than three months.
Experienced Raiders prop Sia Soliola supported his teammate’s enthusiasm, but said that the incident would ultimately be a good lesson on how to best use his energy, suggesting that the eel pack was targeting him for physicality had chosen.
Pulling the middle fingers on the crowd wasn’t the ideal response, said Soliola, who contacted Horsburgh on Sunday to offer support.
“He really understood the consequences of his actions, even though they were highlighted over the weekend,” said Soliola.
“It is probably good that he sees it himself. It could be a turning point for him. “
He said the former caboolture junior could still play a key role in his 2020 campaign.
“I feel for him. He worked hard to get where he is, ”said Soliola. “He will jump back, he is a strong child. It’s a fiery energy ball, isn’t it? And it showed up on the weekend. “
GALLEN WEIGHTED ON THE STORM’S CHANGEROOM ADDRESS
Former Cronulla captain Paul Gallen has rejected criticism of Cameron Smith after Melbourne thanked the Warriors in their locker room after Friday’s game.
The storm beat the Warriors 50-6 when the New Zealand team did not fire in their first game after coach Stephen Kearney’s dismissal.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Co. were depressed after the game, but Smith, Storm Assistant Ryan Hoffman and Head Coach Craig Bellamy thanked them for moving to Australia to ensure the NRL season can continue amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“It was difficult. We wanted to go in there and I assume we are expressing our appreciation and admiration for what they did,” said Hoffman at the Sunday footy show.
“It was very difficult not to listen condescendingly or to feel patronized because I am sure that they do not want compassion.
“I just wanted to let them know what admiration I have for Roger and the team and what they’re doing.”
Gallen said that anyone who had problems with Smith had no leg to stand on.
“I heard Ryan Hoffman talk about it … and he addressed it – they were really concerned that it would look condescending or condescending to the warriors,” Gallen said in “Wide World of Sports.” The final whistle.
“I’m really glad that he mentioned that because when you see this vision for the first time, a lot of people can understand why you think that. How would (caretaker coach) Todd Payten feel if the opposing coach and captain entered?
“The social media stuff is just a big poppy syndrome against Cam Smith. I wouldn’t worry about it and I doubt that Cameron Smith would worry too.
“I’m glad the Melbourne Storm raised it, and after hearing that and the reason they went in there, I think the Melbourne Storm made it pretty good.”
MAGUIRE: BENJI DOESN’T GO EVERYWHERE
West Tigers coach Michael Maguire is not interested in letting Benji Marshall play elsewhere this year after reports have been released today that the unfavorable playmaker is being sold to competing clubs.
The Sydney Morning Herald Marshalls manager is reportedly testing the water to determine if clubs like Manly, Melbourne and North Queensland are interested in securing the veteran’s services for the rest of the year.
Maguire dropped Marshall after the fourth round, though fifth and eighth in the Dally M rankings were second and crowned man of the game in the first two Tigers victories.
Josh Reynolds has been performing well at Marshall’s expense since being promoted to partner # 7, Luke Brooks, but that doesn’t mean Maguire agrees the 35-year-old is looking for playtime elsewhere.
“None at all,” Maguire said, according to NRL.com, when asked if Marshall had proposed leaving the joint venture club where he won a Premier League in 2005.
“We talk a lot about where the club is going, and it’s very part of it. He is a leader and an experienced player who can have a massive impact on or off the field.
“I chose performance – that’s exactly what we’re doing – and depth is required to get from start to finish.
“Benji is an integral part of our plans. The quality of what we have ready when the time is right is what you want to keep building. “
